This branch is such a beauty but the sad state of this starbucks branch is it has lots of thick face customer. Occupying long table to play card/board game. Other table occupied by people who are working. I asked the barista if is this always like this and he told me most of the time especially friday night. This coffee place turn into DyceNDyne where almost the whole 2nd level is occupied by people playing boardgame. Sadly the barista can't do anything beacuse the player by a cup of coffee and stay all they want. Not bad for the players free aircon, power outlet and comfy chair.

This is the 5th branch of Starbucks i've visited this month (although i've been to several branches multiple times) but not one of them had zen tea available. Is that particular variant delisted already?! Just curious.

Still had my black tea with strawberry syrup though. And as usual baristas were great.

Place was packed with working peeps even on a sunday. Surprisingly though, my waiting time in line was shorter than my waiting time to get my drink. Not really typical, especially since there were 3 people in front of me in line. I think it's fine though, because from experience not a lot of people balk whenever they start falling in line to order already.

Looking for a place to say? Yes!! :) so i tried going here! Funfacts about this place! This starbucks was the first one built in metro manila?! Yes, that's what they say.

& i guess it really is, look at the interior :) the place is so vintage-ish i like how the place was designed. There is also a 2nd floor as you can see i pictured the stairs. Lol. on the other side, there is also pictures in a frames & i guess it's the picture of the staffs that they have so nice unique ( too bad i haven't had a picture of it). But still, the place is big! A lot of businessmans & employees go & have a meeting on there.

AND of course the staff of starbucks is really friendly, that goes to all of the starbucks branches all over the asia? I guess for my experience. hihi. Good place to have for coffee, tea, frappe, cookies, sandwiches & a lot more!

So its time to try their other sandwich. This time its the 3 mushrooms with mozzarella cheese in a vegan bread. How healthy does that sounds? It taste even better.
Wish that the server would be more professional in handling the food, hands on plate not on bread.

This is the first starbucks branch in the philippines. Thanks Ang P for that very interesting information.
I like their wall design.
Two floors. Very spacious. However, jampacked. But still i like the classy chitchat sounds. Not like palengke (siguro it depends on the location). Cousins night out this time. And this starbucks was just great for the occasion.
A lot of people could mean the barista could go wrong, and they had my warm GRTL too hot. They did not hesitate to change it to warm.

I was really craving for sweets when I decided to check out their pastries counter. I got curious when I saw that they have S'mores and so, I decided to try it.

I like everything about it especially the texture and the right amount of sweetness. Not too much for me and perfect to pair with your coffee!!! This one's good to try, although I'd say that the best S'mores I had so far was in Scout's Honor (in cookie form).

Chillin' out while waiting for some friends. Got my all-time favorite Iced White Chocolate Mocha, decafinated with Whipped cream. This branch has been instantly one of my favorite Starbucks branch (One Rockwell as my most favorite branch) because of its interiors alone. It's also much spacious compared to other branches *ehem* Greenbelt *ehem* SM Megamall. The service has been good as always!!!

Glad there are several chairs and tables for groups and individual customers.

Found out that they use laminated paper cups for cold drinks than the usual plastic cups. The barista told me that it was Makati's city ordinance. "Ganito pala sa Makati!" Hahahaha! But no, I am and will never be a Binay fan. #sorrynotsorry

Got the chance to have breakfast here last Saturday. Arrived around 7:30 and it was quite busy with a number of people on the ground floor and smoking area.

Nowadays, I rarely buy a cup of coffee because of the free coffee in the office (kuripot. Haha!) and when I do, I only get brewed coffee or Americano. No sugar and creamer because healthy.

It's also been so long since I've gotten anything to eat at Starbucks. The food selection is new, right? I was looking for the chicken pesto sandwich but I guess it's no longer available. I ended up sharing a butter croissant and a triple cheese and ham sandwich with my boyf. The croissant is really good with butter and jam! The sandwich is yummy too but I think price is a bit steep at Php175.

I like the interiors of this branch. It's spacious and has good acoustics.

Tried their new breakfast sandwich- Spam® Black Pepper, Egg and Cheddar on New York Bagel. Meh. Barely tasted the cheese. Slice of Spam was very thin. The bagel was hard to slice (and chew) after they toasted it.

Why do they have to replace the old Spam sandwich?! That was way better than this.

Bought this yesterday but I forgot to eat it so I left it inside the fridge. Surprisingly, it was not dry when I ate it a while ago. The outside remained flaky while the inside was soft and buttery. Yumm. hmmm... This is yummier than the cinnamon danish I buy at the Starbucks branch near my office.
